Ahead of Monday’s game, Rudolph presented Paske with a custom FSU jersey featuring the boy’s name on the back. Paske and his mother Leah were in attendance as FSU staged a major comeback victory over Ole Miss.

“It’s definitely been a whirlwind, but FSU and ESPN and the whole team has been fantastic and so gracious and kind and generous,” Leah told Fox 5 Atlanta. “Just bringing us here and putting us up. The gifts, they gave him shirts today, so it’s just been fantastic.”

Paske marveled over getting to meet the whole team.

“This week has been an absolute blast and I can’t believe I get to meet the whole team,” he told Fox 5 Atlanta.

Paske first entered the spotlight when Rudolph asked if he could eat lunch with him after spotting him alone at a lunch table during a visit to his middle school. Someone snapped a photo of the two and sent it to Paske’s mom who shared it on Facebook.
